PAX East 2022 Gallery By FirstPerson Shooter Friday Part 2

Friday was a relief after the incredible low attendance at PAX East 2022 on Thursday. Despite the parking confusion I mentioned in the previous article, the day started out with a steady stream of cosplayers finding my shooting location and posing for pictures. By noontime Friday, which is when the first images in the gallery linked below were taken, I was confident I would get enough photos for at least two galleries.

In the middle of the afternoon my good friend Kitteninstrings Cosplay (a long-time Enforcer at PAX East) asked me to take a photo of the Main Stage Enforcer crew in front of the PAX East sign in the center of the lobby, and I was happy to do so. That is why there is a photo of a whole bunch of people in red shirts tucked among all the cosplayers.

Also in this gallery is a photo of faeryisms as one of the few Elden Ring cosplayers I photographed. I thought that Elden Ring cosplay would be this year’s The Witcher 3 or Overwatch, but there was only a handful of people cosplaying from that hit game. The same could not be said for Genshin Impact. That mobile waifu and husbando collector game has dominated cosplay in the few conventions I have been to since they started coming back late last summer.

Among the cosplayers in this last Friday gallery are burningsarcasmcosplays, neocoolstar, lytecos, gracedbycosplay, jacq.jalapeno, raeganocosplay, vaultfox, BNH Photography, faeryisms, Thatgearsguy, hexed_ashes, sabi__cat, GiveWave Studios, Petry Cosplays, crystaltifa, Jo Fate, JessilynCupcake Cosplay & Crafts, floris_lilium, Kurygeon Cosplay, bunsonbunscosplay, and many more.

We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.

To view the entire gallery, just click on the image below. If you are pictured in any of our galleries, feel free to download the images and use them non-commercially on social media, with appropriate credit.
